Abstracts put forward for consideration will be reviewed and selected by the Scientific Committee. Chair of the Scientific Committee, Dr Majella Lane (Director, Skin Research Group, UCL School of Pharmacy, London) said: “This moment marks a significant step in the planning of this Congress – the first IFSCC Congress to be held back in the UK for 20 years. We will be looking for research that progresses cosmetic science and has not been previously presented or published to the industry. The outstanding standard of the science that will be presented at the event makes the 32nd IFSCC Congress London a ‘must attend’ occasion for everyone involved in cosmetic research. There is nowhere like London to give people a unique stage to demonstrate their creativity and innovation and to really shine.”
